Samsung gets self-driving car permit in California

Samsung has been granted permission to test self-driving cars on public roads in California. In May, Samsung got permission to test self-driving cars in South Korea fitted with its own sensors and software. The company has taken several different steps recently to bolster its self-driving car technology division. The South Korean firm also has a significant stake in car maker Renault and is believed to be helping it develop its own self-driving controls. Samsung is just one of a growing roster of technology companies testing or investing in self-driving car technology.
